Christine, (I couldn't find a link for your husband, so I'm just passing this on here) Hope Brian has the Greatest Ever tomorrow! More and More men are having the Lap-Band these days. Although guys make up a small minority of the people having Weight Loss Surgery, we tend to lose down quicker and with fewer hassles than the women due to Male Physiology. While he’s healing, have him drop by the "Men's Message Board" at- http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/men/ -to see how other Guys are doing with their surgeries. A lot of info and advice specifically tailored to Men. We have quite a few Husband Wife teams on that board some at goal, others well on their way. I’m just dropping by to let you know that there’s a huge crowd of strangers out here pulling for ya’ll and holding you in our prayers. May he have a famously successful surgery and a record-breaking recovery! Hope he’s home soon and walking away from those pounds and into a new Life! Best Wishes-
